lisa lewis lisa what else do we know so far. well there are conflicting reports actually at the moment if there have been 3 people killed or only 2 and one severely injured we understand the attacker was then as shot by police and treated by emergency doctors and the mayor of nice has said to the press that while he was being treated by emergency doctors he was saying god is great and the mayor of new said this is really shocking this is this is another attack an islamist attack on our country and he also confirmed that the president would go to news later on today. from prosecutors have opened on to terrorism probe does that mean for the investigation we're seeing live pictures by the way from the scene in these. where they do believe that this was a terror attack indeed that this is a special section of the prosecutor's office that is dealing with only such matters and the government is obviously are looking into the affair now and we don't know yet who the attacker was but the area around the church is a largely cordoned off the police are still investigating if this attack it was acting on his own or if he had maybe some other people working with him and we should know more in the coming hours really. has there been any political reaction yet. well the mayor of nice christian christiane is tozzi is set this is an awful attack just shortly after the attack when you look back about 2 weeks back at 47 year old teacher was beheaded by an islamist terrorist for showing cartoons of muhammad in class and casinos to see the mayor of nice again he said that this was really shocking that another attack was happening in such a short time here in france the assembly national assembly has held a minute of silence because when the prime minister got the news of the attack he was actually talking about the lockdown the that is coming into force tonight at midnight and he was interrupting his speech to say there has been another attack and let's remember the victims and those who were injured in this attack. a president. who has reacted to the attack recently on the teacher that was killed for showing cartoons of the prophet muhammad and that sort of instigated a bit of a sponsor and this president other one got involved as well could this escalation have anything to do with that do you think. well it certainly has contributed to certain atmosphere in the country the government is really ramping up and saying we're going to crack down on radical islam isn't there have announced new measures that want to better control hate speech on the internet better control you moms here in france that many of them actually coming from other countries and don't speak french the government now wants to train them itself they also want to better control musk that that are known to be radicalized one recently was at least a preliminary a shut down because the government believes that a radical islam is preaching there so the government is really are ramping up and saying we're going to crack down on this and this obviously as though it's a lot of fear amongst muslims here and maybe also reaction such as sadly such an attack. these are we coming back to you during the show as this story clearly is developing fast for the moment thank you very much. we're going to germany where chancellor angela merkel has defended the latest round of coronavirus restrictions as the country prepares to go back into lockdown addressing the bundestag merkel's that it was currently impossible to trace the origin of all the new infections hampering efforts to contain the virus but she faced frequent interruptions during her speech and the opposition have called the measures excessive and inappropriate . empty restaurants and bars no museums no theaters these images are actually from the 1st wave of the pandemic but in november germans will have to get used to them again ice coronavirus cases rise chancellor merkel announced new restrictions the main difference this time is that schools and shops will remain open many businesses will receive economic support on thursday merkel defended their new policy in a key speech before the german parliament thank you must learn the measures we now have to take are appropriate necessary and proportionate in particular there is no milder means than consistently reducing contact to stop and reverse the infection process and bring it to a manageable level. and they have spouses. merkel was constantly interrupted and the parliament speaker saw himself forced to call for order the biggest opposition party in the broader stock the far right if he was quick to slam the measures given to the thieves one for we consider the paralysis of the cultural industry the hospitality industry and practically the entire social life as announced by mrs merkel to be excessive and inappropriate now one of the big questions is whether citizens will actually comply with these new measures the government has enjoyed high levels of support but criticism is on the rise and there's also an evident coronavirus fatigue. for this i'm not joined by political correspondent the chancellor. has discussed these strict measures and what she's saying about the threat level that makes this so important right now well america has been probably the most prominent person in germany warning about the developments for weeks and months now if we go back just a month's time she predicted that we would be around $900000.00 cases by the end of the year and a month ago that was regarded as alarmist now we have. 17000 today so we're very close to that just 4 weeks later and 2 weeks ago she had another meeting with the regional leaders of germany the 16 federal states where certain measures were decided and i'm glad not to went public after that meeting saying that she felt that that was not enough that the measures were not strict enough 2 weeks later as i say we're reaching new records clearly she was correct so now she is saying it's time to act it's time to act very very decisively the numbers of infections are rising very quickly and what she's really focusing on is that these this rise in effect infections leads to a. parallel rise in the number of cases in the hospitals and those are doubling every 10 days at the moment so she's saying we have another 2 or 3 steps in that doubling before we reach the capacity exceed the capacity in the hospital so within 2 to 3 weeks we could be in a crisis situation hospitals that's why they're saying now we have to stop this. not to try to make the case fall for these measures but the opposition of was quite strong actually. saying it was excessive and inappropriate somebody spoke of a blind action is i'm. not so much acceptance right now if we look back to march there was more acceptance was and is i think you can say that in march everybody was in a sense shocked by what happened with that virus one was not really used to that yet it was a new phenomenon and one wasn't clear about what measures actually would be effective so i think people then felt that the heaviest possible measure namely a locked on for several weeks was appropriate at the time now we are more familiar with the virus people to some extent i think feel that it is to them personally is especially if you're young and not as threatening as one had thought maybe and also we're talking about very very serious consequences for business for the economy and especially those parties more on the right of the political spectrum who are close to business interests other parties that are now criticizing these measures as being too drastic they are advocating measures that would be more targeted and would leave business life less seriously affected but the government says this is the way to go its and attempt to keep as it were serious business going the factories being closed down but at the same time those parts of business life such that concern recreation and entertainment there's a been shut down to prevent people from gathering still many say the cuts into civil liberties are far far too deep what about public opinion is the nation still behind and measures there are clearly cuts into civil liberties live civil liberties are being restricted the freedom of movement is being restricted the freedom of assembly is being restricted so clearly there are civil liberties. issues involved here. but i think what you can expect in the population the most recent polls have shown that the support for such a measure still is very very high and most recent poll this week saw that more than half of people agreed with the measures they were that were instituted after a time before these new measures and 30 percent in addition said the measures were too slow in other words we have roughly an 80 percent agreement to these measures so i think at the moment in terms of the support in the population the government are still doing very well up a little course one tons on thank you for this analysis. but here are some of the other developments in and make the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in india has now passed 8000000 has the 2nd highest number of cases in the world after the united states but one of the world's lowest death rates iran's health ministry says the country is now in a full scale war with the virus as tehran reported record death toll for a 2nd consecutive day is the worst hit country in the middle east and taiwan has reached 100 days without any domestic transmissions of covert 19 it continues to record new cases of people arriving from abroad but is being pointed pointed to as a success story and how to deal with the 10 demick. fighting between armenia and azerbaijan over the disputed region of the gone across has entered its 2nd month after a cease fire failed on tuesday the region lies within by john but has been under the control of armenian forces since a war that ended in 1904 troops brokered by the u.s. failed to take effect on monday just like 2 earlier truces negotiated by russia i mean by john continued to blame each other for ceasefire violations. clothing food water and medicine volunteers at this donation point for humanitarian aid in the armenian capital a lot of honor of working around the clock to give peace and says it is to those in need. they've been here since the start of the conflict and seeing the intend to see it through to the end. because across the border no government cut above the need is great. artillery firing down on cities throughout the region daily and the fog of war is making it hard to verify basic facts on the ground but these images at least show the extent of the damage in the regional capital stop i cared . for tens of thousands of already fled the violence like these women who found refuge in the armenian capital bringing with them stories of friends and neighbors killed and injured while seeking shelter in basements or even churches. for some it was all they left with. voting against failure there was a man on the street from the air of may god protect him and he said get in the car i'll get you out of here move and move can you imagine our house burnt to the ground in 2 hours we didn't manage to save anything. the women gathered here see the world has turned their back on them. if. everyone is standing around and waiting like this is some kind of game they're just waiting to see what have planned events. don't use the bureau to lump among blue it's just criminal the world is behaving criminally because no one is listening to. it just look up or. we will be victorious a message in billy's and on video screens and patriotic posters throughout the capital. well there are no official figures observers claimed thousands of young armenians are volunteering for military service. government is one of them. along with us filming mckeesport it's each of our responsibility to serve our fatherland is in a difficult situation. we need to protect our territory. we're not going anywhere. what's going on july. 2 flags flying above your own. on the left flank of armenia. on the right flank of the or mean on cleve knew got a new car bomb. here some call to display resolve and perhaps also warning that would mean you would back down in the fight when you go to karbala. now let's bring in our correspondents. who is in azerbaijan and our own tilton who is in the armenian capital are and you filed this report let's turn to you 1st news account in this morning about fresh fighting in the know it all across the region what are you hearing. well that's right gary hart and right off the bat i have to say because of the nature of this conflict it's very hard to verify actual facts on the ground that being said in a government called a boss defense ministry has indicated that at least 50 people both soldiers and civilians have lost their lives in the part due to airstrikes and shelling overnight and now i have been in contact with journalists who are actually embedded in the regional capital step on a carrot and they have confirmed that they were also able to see some of those strikes and hear those strikes and they said the rate of artillery fire has increased overnight so it seems at least fair to say at this hour that the violence in the run the government is increasing the heavy attack on close to the enclave was reported yesterday but i mean it denies any involvement what can you tell us about. well that's not entirely surprising you have to remember but since the 1st day of this conflict it's kind of gone hand in hand with dueling accusations and denials of responsibility what's interesting about body is though it has actually appeared on a list of legitimate targets by the yemeni military in the past so if they were actually involved in that strike then some of the violence we've seen around the government out of office today could be seen as maybe some type of retaliatory action for the strike and lot of the. if you were in baba yesterday after the attack happened what did you witness that. well this has been the deadliest attack here in by john the deadliest reported to attack since the fighting over to go in a car about started over a month ago we've been in florida just hours after it happened we saw burned out cars as several houses completely destroyed and many people in shock now azerbaijan has actually accused armenian forces of having attacked barda with so-called. cluster munition this is a particularly devastating and deadly type of weapon battened by many countries around the world except. azerbaijan and armenia and armenia has leveled similar allegations over the past weeks against azerbaijan human rights organizations have confirmed these claims on the ground now this is a dangerous escalation more than 100 civilians on both sides have already lost their lives in this war so as the fighting continues this number is very likely to increase. you know how be likely is it that the violence in the region will come to an end soon. well right now a diplomatic peaceful solution seems a loose if as you mentioned free cease fires have already failed to go to russian brokered ones and one negotiated in washington and the question really is how much political will is there in azerbaijan and armenia to return to the negotiation table now azerbaijan's president has insisted that his country has a right to reclaim nagorno-karabakh by force he is also announced some significant military victories and gains and recent days so for him the question really is are there incentives for the leadership here in the country to stop the military companion and return to negotiations. in those a bit john and some reporting from the media thank you both very much. as well take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today in hong kong a

lisa lewis she is in the french city of nice good evening to you lisa we understand that there is new information about the suspect what have you learned. well we do we are hearing that the suspect apparently was 21 years old and a tunisian who had come to the island of lampedusa in italy and then come to france in very recently just a few weeks back we understand that the police didn't know him before hand this information is yet to be confirmed by the prosecutor that is to speak at this very moment actual in the coming minutes in the belgian. leached there it's only been a few hours since that attack would be what are you hearing from people there. what i've been talking to people here who have come to this location to gather and to pay their respects to the victims the muslim people who've been saying you know we're really afraid this is a point of no return that france is reaching really will feel targeted because people think that every muslims all the muslims are the same but we are on this person who attacked this morning was a madman and just a short while ago there were hundreds of. activists from the far right have marched down this road this street and stopped in front of the cathedral they were singing the national anthem being the hitler salute and then yelling fire so it's quite a divided country tonight and seems more more polarized here in france and we understand there was another attack today in of the your own were there any connections that what we saw happening in the church. is not it's pretty early to say if there was a real connection but we believe that that person in his thirty's also belong to a far right group here chaps a merchant of north african descent and this is traced to what extend really france is split into 2 groups or maybe more groups by this deeply divided really and that muslims might be right to feel that they might be targeted by other people at least those from. right through clearly pointing their fingers tonight at muslims and the country france is still reeling from the recent murder of the school teacher that hasn't even been 2 weeks ago is there an answer to the question why so many of these attacks are happening in france. it's not yet clear if all these attacks are actually linked to each other but the timing seems hardly to be a incidence you know just a few weeks back as you sat the 725 the 47 year old teacher sami. a 37 year old teacher was beheaded by it and islamist because he had to say a cat to know of the prophet muhammad in class few weeks before that there was a knife attack in front of the home offices of the citric a magazine sally have you know this is taking place by a court case is ongoing on the attack on sally of bill which was attacked in 10 to 2015 because the magazine had published cartoons of the prophet mohammed so it seems like this court case that's going on that this very moment seems to release stoking all this hate for us hated all these extreme and maces that then late attacks across france. are correspondent lisa lu is with the latest tonight from the french city of nice lisa thank you. and to put this story in a bigger context i'm joined now by young son pierre he's a counterterrorism advisor and a security expert john it's good to have you on the program you know this attack today comes less than 2 weeks after that horrifying attack that we saw against a french school teachers. i was surprised to learn that the security alert in france was not at its highest level until after the attack today in nice have french intelligence or security forces have they been sleeping at the wheel here. you know that's one of the easy conclusions to come to because it is the 3rd attack in roughly 6 weeks under similar circumstances in different areas of the country the thing is the overall circumstances to be the polarized nation surrounding free speech the divisions which in your colleague alluded to between you know muslims and other communities in france is creating an effect where more and more people als

lisa lewis she is in the french city of nice good evening to you lisa we understand that this is still a moving story what is happening there were you or yeah it's been a crighton uncomfortable scene just behind me just now there were hundreds of people from the heat on the far right movement was singing the national anthem marching toward the cathedral from down there standing in front of it and then doing the hitler salute and yelling the. proms as i just saw to a few muslim people who came here tonight to gather and to mourn the dead and to say you know we're not all the same and this man who did this this morning he was really someone who had to her sister gone crazy we don't identify with that person or say the atmosphere is quite tense here tonight a nice and he said there is really a big concern isn't it that this resilience against islamist terror could actually provide for real ground for for white groups in the country. absolutely it's likely to divide the country even further the government has taken additional measures to crack down on islamist radical islamists and they also want to ban hate speech on hate speech online but the whole narrative the whole choline here in france is quite worrying really because lots of politicians have come out saying you know we really need to depend on these people and we need to be tougher on the muslim as extremists the many muslims here in france feel that they are targeted that they looked weirdly as i said i just spoke to a couple here who came you told me you know we were here when the nice attack in july 26th in happened we were at the promenade is actually and even after the attack we felt targeted and we were really concerned we feel that this is reaching a tipping point it's getting worse and worse and we really quite weirdly and people are discriminating against us because of these attacks but we don't identify with these people we use what we see the world a chance for not only talking about what happened in the news today there was also another attack earlier today tell me about their. father was another knife attack in over a year and other attacks across france today but we don't actually know yet if these various are for types who are linked to each other what we do know is that the timing is quite bizarre really or doesn't seem to be a coincidence at least if you look back just a few weeks back there was the beheading of the 47 year old teacher samuel party who had shown a cartoon of the prophet muhammad in class and who was then beheaded by a radical islamist and just a few weeks before that there was another knife attack in front of the former news room of citric of the satirical magazine charlie of those that magazine was attacked in january 2015 for publishing. the cartoons of the prophet muhammad and the court case concerning that journey for any 15 attack is still ongoing at least entre mid november those who are surprised are believed to have helped the attackers are being judged right now so the timing of all of these attacks the knife attacks this dog here in france doesn't seem to be a queen siddons actual or our correspondent lisa who is with the latest tonight from the french city of nice lisa thank you. for here in germany chancellor angela merkel is defending the latest round of coronavirus restrictions as the country prepares to go back into a limited walk. addressing parliament today merkel said that it's currently impossible to trace the origin of all new infections hampering efforts to contain the virus she faced frequent interruptions in parliament and the opposition they have called the measures excessive and inappropriate empty restaurants and bars no museums no see it says these images are actually from the 1st wave of the pandemic but in november germans will have to get used to the macon as coronavirus cases rise chancellor angela merkel announced sweeping new restrictions the main difference there's time is that schools and many shops will remain open on thursday mikel defended the new policy in a key speech before the german parliament. is upon the me it looked as if it is time to make throws the

lisa lewis she is in the french city of nice tonight good evening to you lisa what more do we know tonight about the 3 people who were killed and what more do we know about the suspect. well we know that the victims were all between 40 and 60 years old apparently one woman was decapitated in the church another man was caught at his trade and a 3rd woman a 3rd person a woman fled to a nearby bar and then she died of her wounds about the attacker we understand that he was apparently 21 years old of. the newseum man who had come to france recently france's top anti terror prosecutor has said tonight in a press conference that the police found a koran and 3 nights with him one of the nice was the weapon of assault really we don't know yet if he had been in touch with any international. terror network or anything we don't know why he did this but we do know that the police are looking into this and we are certainly going to be hearing more about this in the coming days you know you begin the day in paris you travel to nice what do people. tell you regarding what police say is a series of islamist terror attacks in the country. this is stopped a lot of people here in france obviously the my friends who have been talking to but also people i met here in nice i talked to a muslim couple earlier tonight and they were telling me we're really you know i think we think that france is a tipping point it's getting worse and worse and we are moderate muslims we don't identify with such a mad person who's done this is perpetrate this horrible chap today but we feel that we are being targeted by some people in france who believe that all muslims are the same but we aren't and then a bit later on hundreds of people were marching down the street here towards just to the front of the cathedral and those people were from far right groups it seemed they were singing the national and. them they were doing the hitler salute and yelling the higher thing seems like france is really a divided and very polarized country now. this recent spate of attacks it comes at a time when so-called islamic state is expanding its influence despite having no territory to claim as its own any longer if there is since that france is europe's most fertile ground for radicalisation. but it's certainly a fur chill ground to proudly you know france has the biggest muslim community in the western world and police told me not long ago that they were not going now rather expecting not big terror attacks like the attacks in 2015 where more than 100 people died for example number november 25th teen in paris but rather lone wolf attacks they are really afraid that some people who get radicalized in their room at home that they then go on and saw people and kill people because they think that they have to fight back against the the image of secularism that france has been defending more and more especially over the coming of the past few months if you look back just a few weeks back there was the beheading of a 47 year old history teacher who had shown a cartoon of the prophet muhammad in class and was then be headed by a radical islamists and after that the government said that they really needed to preserve secularism what they said secularism here and france and that they would clamp down and crackdown on radical islam is certainly looks like this has further divided the spirit spirits and police seems to be really afraid more snacks might be coming the government has now ramped up its police forces in the streets by several thousands of police forces and soldiers to more of these nationwide grew bolder by wristwatch begins to free and she could last the entire month of november you've got 2 major threats now here are in the virus in france talk to me about this double danger in free. well it's causing a lot of concern here obviously people are afraid of the virus of obviously they were thinking that this might have gone the way over the summer because the figures were going down and even when the figures of infection were rising. the figures of daily deaths weren't going up right away but now it's come to a point where the government has said we need to lock down the country again know else we might face another 400000 additional deaths over the next few months so people are afraid of losing and then this terror attack and the current climate here in france which is really you know very anxious very you know furthering all this fear that people can have a further 4 terror attacks and certainly not good times and very concerning times here in france you know we hear a lot about threats to french values which is secularism now they're just a threat to public health what's the condition tonight of french resume amid these crises. well that's a good question i mean people from now on will have to stay at home for 4 weeks so probably that gives them also the occasion to hide away from this and just you know dive into whatever they like music or good movies but people are really here on the edge because of the terror threat and they're also war not because of this virus they don't want to go back into isolation but obviously they don't have another choice and they just have to you know get through this and the president has been saying you know we need to stand together and we will get through this but i think

lisa lewis she is covering this for us in paris good evening to you lisa so france has declared the public health state of emergency over cope at night what exactly does that mean on the ground. well that actually just means that the government or local governments can impose local or nationwide look now that's obviously something that france just as germany one stew prevent from happening that's why the government has now decided to impose that curfew in several cities just like here in paris so if i want to go out after 9 o'clock at night i need to have a good the right reason as the president put it the government is also recommending for people to only meet up with about 6 people or to you know if they meet at home or in the street they should limit their circle of friends to 6 people but the government has sat in the past that they can't really impose that massive measure it's a recommendation but that's really the president really wanted to appear to the commonsense of the people here to limit the spread of the virus and the curfews are part of that measure really. just a moment these measures they come as many are still struggling to recover from the impact of the 1st coronavirus. since take a look. there's not a lot going on in this paris restaurant today because of the coronavirus pandemic hardly any guests are stopping by always break through the leg room where we're following all the rules but the tourists are still staying away it's very complicated. here and over has dropped by 50 to 60 percent on people. the french economy is suffering from the coronavirus in the 2nd financial quarter the gross domestic product fell by 13.8 percent and you develop play we're expecting the economy to shrink by 9 percent in france in 2020 that's gigantic and this is despite high government spending on employment will continue to rise in the future. almost 23000 new infections were reported within the last 24 hours in the greater pair. area over 40 percent of the intensive care beds are already occupied by coronavirus patients with the predator is growing and we still have to take care of the other patients we might reach the limits of the system soon i'm very concerned about what will happen in the next few weeks or. the government will now implement more coronavirus restrictions in response yet lisa let me pick up on that intensive care patients i understand the number of french i.c.u. patients for corona virus earlier this week surpassed the peak that we saw back in may now if we're dealing with that already in october that doesn't bode well for the coming fall in winter in terms of the health care system in france being able to deal with it absolutely you are you're right and that's what the president was insisting on in the interview tonight he was saying you know our intensive care units are also already starting to be stretched and we need to really bring down the spread of the virus also because the situation is actually now worse than in march in that now in march actually have any basically paris and surroundings concerned and they used to france now the virus is spread across the country so whereas earlier in the young the 1st locked on health workers doctors nurses could come to the concerned regions and help out now this is no longer possible because there are needed a
